Hi, out of curiosity, does anyone knows how much of the feedback for Epic has been actually “listen & implemented” by Epic?
I’m may be totally wrong, but my feeling is that all this feedback we give here is merely to fill pages and very little or none of it is implemented by Epic.
Anyone have any stats?
Curiously enough, I have.
Since I started with UE4 I am running all versions parallel and compare what has improved, when it became more unstable etc.
If you play around with 4.1 again, you quickly noticed how much has changed 
My view is that Epic does a good job in reacting to the community input.
Its just that one needs to differentiate between bug report feedback and feature request feedback.
I see that Epic appearently has hired some folks in the past to track user requests more carefully.
Samantha Sutton does a great job in relating user input to the development team. And so do many others. Adam Davis and too many more to mention them all.
And the list of implementations is really long: automatic lightmap generation, UMG, countless animation helpers, blueprint improvements (component edit), etc.
So when I look at the improvements from 4.0 to 4.8 and consider it being the result of a good year’s work, then I have to say: Yes, absolutely Ok. Keep going

Hey man, I’m not saying that UE4 is bad!
What I’m asking is if they actually implement the feedback we give them here in this thread. This is different to them fixing bugs from answer hub.
They constantly respond and many of the new features in 4.8 are directly from what people have requested in this section of the forum.
Why would you assume EPIC doesn’t listen to feedbacks? btw did you forget to post your summary?
What summary you are talking about?
Can you give any examples, with corresponding thread? That is feature A implemented in UE4.8, requested in thread 1. etc?
Heres a quick example. Thread is: 41K tris for the new "Mannequin" in 4.8 - Feedback & Requests - Epic Developer Community Forums
and note from release log: "There are two versions, a high resolution model and a low resolution version suitable for mobile devices. "
Just read the (really long) release notes: What's New | Unreal Engine 5.3 Documentation
There’s no point wasting time on this
What do that shows/proves?
I’m talking about user request/feedback and corresponding implementation in UE4.
I’m not trying to start any argument here, simply want to see what (and how much) of users’ feedback is actually taken into account and implemented.
Nor am I going to argue, figure it out on your own, its an example of exactly what you wanted. And as wrote, the changelog is available, and you have access to the feedback threads, do your research.
Yep, it seems that there is plenty of stuff implemented. That’s what I was interested in.
Best regards
